Rich clubs can ignore FFP 12:59 - Apr 26 with 1699 views | saint901 | Report in the BBC today that Newcastle are preparing to spend £150m in the close season. FFP seems to be a mere inconvenience for Newcastle and other clubs owned by those with bottomless pockets. We will see the richest clubs in the PL - City, Newcastle, Chelsea (I'm leaving Utd and Liverpool out for now as they are perhaps being sold to new owners) - perhaps Leicester, leaving the PL (or playing in a much reduced league of perhaps 12 clubs) whilst they focus on playing the richest teams in Europe and beyond in a season long "competition". Clubs like ours will be also rans playing in a football merit league where the quality of football and not the size of the bank balance is important. | | | | |
